Hello, I'm trying to compile atk 1.7.1 which requires GLIB 2.0.0 or newer. I use debian and I had the .deb package libc6-dev 2.2.5 installed (out of date), so I thought I'd upgrade this beforehand by compiling glib 2.4.2. With the 2 versions of glib installed together (1 as a .deb package, 1 compiled), I tried running configure of atk and it returned the message *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.2, but GLIB (2.0.1) was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or by editing /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the correct configuration files. So I uninstalled the .deb packaged libc6-dev 2.2.5 and ran configure again. This time it returned configure: checking for C compiler default output configure: gcc conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status (... bit of test code gcc tried to compile ...) error: C compiler cannot create executables and now I'm stuck. I searched the source directory of glib 2.4.2, but it doesn't have any record of installing crt1.o. Does that mean there is some other library I must install to enable gcc to "create executables"? Any help is greatly appreciated.
